May I  ask a "naive" question...

What was the patient doing in the "CT scan 2  hours after arrival "  
with a "systolic BP 0f 40-60" ??

in my previous life in Louisiana, the answer would have been "trying to  
satisfy the surgical resident who didn't want to accept the transfer from my  
little hospital (with no surgeon) to his big level 1 trauma center"...and who  was 
also insisting on 4 liters of IV fluids and a systolic BP over 100 before  
transport...
 
Even quoting Ken Mattox and Errington Thompson at those residents didn't  
help in a lot of cases...
